"A subscriber, Br. A. b. Clark, writ

there is quite revival in the temperance

OF the w. O. L. o., and asks as to the orr

Psalm G. 3-5.

L
Knew We that the Lord, He is God: 1t is He
who hath made us, and not we ourselves: we
are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and
into His courts with praise: Be thankful unto
Him, and bless His name: For the Lord is
good, His mercy is everlasting, and His truth
endureth to all generations.
LET Us GIVE THANKS.
Bless the Lord, o my soul, and forget not
all His benefts,-who forgiveth all thine in
iquities, who healeth all thy diseases, who re-
deemeth thy life from destruction, who
crowneth thee with loving kindness and ten
der mercies.
Bless the Lord, o my soul, and all that IS
,oitl,in me, bless His holy name.
What shall we render unto the Lord for all
His benefits toward us?
We will take the cup of salvation, and call
upon the name of the Lord.
Thy name, o Lord, endureth for ever, and
Thy memorial throughout all generations.
Without voice or language, the heavens de-
clare Thy glory, by sunny day and by starry
night; and the open hand of Thy blessing is
continually over all the earth.
o glue thanks unto the Lord, for He Is
good: for His mercy endureth for euer.

Ofioiai Figures That Do Not Tell the
Truth.

An effort is being made by the admins
tration to show that there is more money
in circulation now than there was on March
4, 1885. Official figures are falsihed In the
vain effor', as We shall demonstrate.
The amounts OF money, including gold,
silver, legal tenders, national bank notes,
gold and silver certificates, and all forms OF
money in the country on the 4th OF March,
1856, is put down at $l,299, ,426 ,613, and the
amount now is placed at $l,373. 1873, 1859,
showing an apparent increase in circulation
of $7S, ,s45, ,456 in the two years and eight
months of Clevoland's administration.
These sums include the amount in the
treasury at both periods as part Of the cir
culation, and they also include the legal
reserves which the national banks hold,
neither Of which sums are part of the 'cir-
culation" Of the country.
By turning to page 10, volume 1, Of the
first report made by Secretary Manning to
Congress, the statement ia found that on
the 4th Of March there was in the treasury
OF the United States the sum Of 1870, 1856, 1853
On examination Of the monthly report
Of Secretary Fairchild, dated Oct. 81, 1887,
It will be seen that the amount in the
treasury at that date was $6l2,63s, 400.
Accepting the figures given as the true
amount Of money in the country at the times
indicated, the amounts in actual circula-
ton will be shown by the following table !:

When Fa'staff, after the exploit at Gads
Hil, was relating how he encountered the
men in buckram and "the misbegotten
knaves in Kendall Green," Prince Hal
said: "Mark how plain q tale shall put
thee down." He told the true story, and
Falstaff's imaginary foes disappeared.
And so with these official fgures-these
men in buckram, that the administration
parades before the people to show an In
creased circulation, disappear in the light
of truth shown by the official figures OF the
Treasury Department,
